Yahoo Says 1 Billion User Accounts Were Hacked

Haven’t I heard this before, you may ask. No, this is a different hack from the earlier one. It’s deja vu all over again.

The company says the attack was separate from the breach that led to an earlier disclosure that 500 million accounts were hacked.
